May was starting in place of Drew Carter, who was injured in the first half against Wesley last week. He was 21-for-34 for 161 yards, no interceptions and the two touchdowns.

The LaGrange defense forced five turnovers in the game. The Blue Tigers (0-6) fumbled the ball away three times and had two passes intercepted. All of the Panthers' points came off of the Lincoln turnovers.

Jeremy Pickens led the defensive charge for the Panthers. He had 13 total tackles, as the Panthers limited Lincoln to 201 yards of total offense.

George Okpani recovered a fumble at the Blue Tigers' 22-yard line to set up the first Panthers' touchdown. Three plays later, May hit Stephen Tuck on a 22 pass play and Josh Stripling's extra point made it 7-0 with 2:22 left in the first quarter.

The Panthers upped their lead to 14-0 in the second quarter. The defense set up the score again, as Andrew Christie recovered a fumble at the Lincoln 28.

The Panthers cashed in off the turnover in four plays. May hooked up with Tuck for 12 yards down to the 2. On the next play, he found Nick Langley for the touchdown with 9:53 left in the half. Langley became the first Panther to reach 1,000 career receiving yards with a 12-yard reception later in the second quarter.

Stripling extended the Panthers lead to 17-0 by halftime with a 26-yard field. The field goal was set up by Joe White's fumble recovery. White's play stopped a Lincoln drive that had reached the Panthers' 31-yard line.

Lincoln put together its lone scoring drive on its first possession of the second half. The Blue Tigers drove 55 yards in seven plays to cut the Panthers' lead to 17-7.

The defense stopped Lincoln twice inside the Panthers' 35 in the fourth quarter. The Blue Tigers' last two possessions ended on interceptions by Joe Frye and Tim Hill. Stripling closed out the scoring with a 30-yard field goal following Frye's interception.

The Panthers host MacMurray at Callaway Stadium next Saturday. Kickoff is 1 p.m.
